EXPERIENCE
Details:
- Service Type – quick service
- Seating – indoor cafe seating
- Reservations – no
- Entertainment – occasional sketch artist appearances
- Menu
The Sketch Pad Cafe is Pixar Place’s eatery, located in the center of the hotel’s action. You can grab food on the go or dine in the cafe, with occasional visits from sketch artists who will draw characters alongside diners.
MY RATING: ★★★★☆
This is definitely one of the more convenient hotel breakfast stops at the resort. (Note: I haven’t visited at other mealtimes, so I can only speak to the mornings). But you can grab a coffee and a bite to eat as you walk through Downtown Disney en route to the park gates. The cast members here are always super friendly and helpful too!
MY FAVORITES
- Mini frittata
- Bagels (flavor availability varies)
TRIVIA
The Sketch Pad Cafe’s theming comes from animation “sketch pads”, the notebooks where artists would create the animations in the age before computers.
